Tasting note
Nicolás Catena helped revolutionize Argentina's wine industry after visiting California in the 1980s. This, his benchmark Malbec, has rich blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate, exotic spices and mint. For grilled sausages, aged steaks or rare roast beef.
This dry and purplish red coloured red showcases a complex nose releasing woody, spicy, floral and fruity scents. You will be charmed with this medium-bodied wine revealing a broad texture, fleshy tannins and a medium finish.
Cantena High Mountain Malbec presents a dark, violet colour with deep black tones. This microclimate blend of four unique vineyard sites offers intense aromas with a soft, generous texture and concentrated flavours.
91 points – Wine Advocate. Notes of blackberry, strawberry cheesecake, cassis and violets linger on the nose. The acidity is crisp and lends tautness towards the succulent finish, which bestows blackberry, black olive and loganberry fruit. Featured in TASTE Magazine, Winter 2012 issue.
